Philosophy

My philosophy of coaching is rooted in the nine core values of the PGA junior program. Instilling the values of honesty, integrity, respect, responsibility, perseverance, confidence, judgment, sportsmanship, and courtesy not only creates better golfers, but it also creates better people in life. My goal is to promote and foster the necessary skills and values that are needed for students to perform at the next level of their career. I honestly believe that with hard work, determination, and passionate desire, a person can accomplish anything they set their mind too.

Interested in Playing a College Sport?

If you're interested in playing a college sport, at the 8th grade level is the perfect time to start having those discussions with your parents and discussing what division you'd like to play for? There is a lot of research that you can do to find out exactly what is needed and when if you're looking to be a collegiate athlete.

One common myth is that you need to go to a big school to be recognized. There are many things that college recruiters look at. Listed below are a few of the things they are looking for:
-Leadership/Interviews with teachers/Coaches. An athlete that can help build a sustainable winning culture. A student athlete that can be a great classmate.
-Character Development. More and more they aren't just looking for someone who can put up points, but someone who's a good person and well rounded.
-Multi Sport athlete- building of alternative skill sets, often more athletic avoids injury and burn out.
